LYRICS:
"Offer my protection
oh for your addiction
Messing with the pieces
Of your dignity mess..
Giving it up for appearing
to be allways confused.
It’s even a real excuse.
All for nothing
And nothing for all it goes
It’s not about us anymore.
Time to crumble.
Time to fade away.
It’s not about us anymore.
Craving for assistance,
delaying the deliverance..
Gazing to the distance
To follow brothers, sisters..
Can’t see a way nor a will there
where your mourns can not be heard
It’s not even a real excuse.
No, no…not about us anymore…"

There are around 10,000 homeless people in Finland, half of them in Helsinki.
An estimated 500 people end up homeless each year.
Homelessness is not a personal failure but a social issue, resulting from political decisions.
In Finland the social administration cannot take a social benefit applier temporary under financial "custody" unless he is mentally disabled or
his social, mental and economical capacity is deeply reduced. Alcoholism is not counted as a good enough reason for this incapacity
in Finland, unlike in in Sweden where the national alcohol consumption level is half of the Finland's level...
Capital incomes of shareholders have almost tripled over the last three years in Finland. Over 8 billion euros a year are won by capital
investors from the bourse. Most of it comes with a ridiculously small tax to a very marginalized already filthy rich minority...
The only lasting solution to homelessness is to increase affordable state-funded rental housing, adjust taxation of the very wealthy
, change the goverment's employment policy and to allow social administration to take alcohol dependants who are living with social allowance under temporary financial custody like the
mentally disabled without a caretaker.
The charity single "It's Not About Us Anymore" has two goals: 1) to raise people's awareness of this rising problem and 2) to
gain publicity and profits for the homelessness organisation (VVA Ry) in Finland so that there would be more people caring and fighting
for the ones who will otherwise get pushed aside. The profits from the charity single are donated to an organization founded by the homeless in Finland (Vailla Vakituista Asuntoa RY).
If you want to support their actions of fighting the homelessness you buy the charity single "It's Not About Us Anymore" for 3e (
+1e for postal orders to EU countries.MP3's digitally delivered 2e. To order click HERE). To maximize the profits so that the
record labels, distributors or sales men will get as little as possible from the sales of this charity cd we strongly recommend
that you buy your's straight from us or from the Vailla vaikituista asuntoa organization.
